Renault India Unleashes the New Kiger: Compact SUV, Big Attitude, and a Turbo Badge with Swagger

New Delhi — Renault India has pulled the covers off the New Kiger, and if you thought compact SUVs couldn’t get any bolder, you might want to adjust your rear-view mirror. With over 35 enhancements — ranging from snazzier bumpers to a soundtrack worthy of Arkamys — the Kiger arrives not just to rethink performance but to reframe the entire segment’s attitude.

Design That Wears Its Confidence on Its Grille

The Kiger now flexes a striking new front grille, redesigned hood, LED headlamps, and a rear that looks like it did squats all summer. Add 16-inch diamond-cut “Evasion” alloys and beefed-up skid plates, and you have a sub-four-metre SUV that might just intimidate bigger cars in the parking lot. Oh, and did we mention the new Oasis Yellow paint? It’s loud, proud, and definitely not for those who want to blend into traffic.

Cabin Fever, but Make It Premium

Step inside, and Renault has sprinkled in dual-tone dashboards, ventilated leatherette seats, and enough noise insulation to keep out both honking autos and your backseat critics. The rear AC vents and improved airflow mean even your last-row passengers won’t complain — a miracle in Indian family road trips.

Tech Overload (in a Good Way)

With a 20.32 cm floating touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a 3D surround sound system that could rival your neighbourhood DJ’s setup, the Kiger’s cabin is basically a rolling entertainment pod. Throw in rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlamps, and a multi-view camera system, and you’ll be parking like a pro — or at least looking like one.

Turbocharged Heart, Calm Fuel Bills

The star of the show is the 100 PS turbocharged engine. It boasts a best-in-segment torque-to-weight ratio and still manages 20.38 kmpl (ARAI). Translation: enough grunt for highway overtakes, without breaking into a sweat at petrol pumps. And if you’re less turbo-inclined, Renault still offers a naturally aspirated engine that’s more wallet-friendly but won’t win drag races.

Transmission choices include the classic 5-speed manual, an Easy-R AMT for the “one-hand-on-chai” commuters, and the advanced X-Tronic CVT that finally ditches the dreaded rubber-band effect.

Safety: Now Standard, Not Optional

The new Kiger takes safety seriously — 21 standard safety features, including 6 airbags, ESP, Hill Start Assist, Traction Control, ISOFIX mounts, and a structure toughened on Renault’s CMFA+ platform. Basically, you’ll run out of excuses before Renault runs out of safety tech.

CEO’s Take

Venkatram Mamillapalle, MD & CEO, Renault India, summed it up with corporate flair: “The new Kiger reaffirms our commitment to expressive design, intelligent engineering, and real-world performance.” Translation: it looks good, drives well, and won’t empty your savings account.

Price Tag That Plays Both Sides

• Turbocharged “Techno” and “Emotion” trims: ₹9.99 – ₹11.29 lakh (ex-showroom)
• Naturally aspirated variants: ₹6.29 – ₹9.14 lakh (ex-showroom)

So whether you’re an enthusiast chasing torque or a pragmatic buyer hunting value, Renault has you covered.

The New Renault Kiger is like that friend who shows up to brunch in sneakers but still pulls it off as high fashion. Bold on the outside, techy on the inside, efficient under the hood, and safer than your phone password — it’s proof that compact SUVs can have both brains and brawn. Renault calls it “rethink performance.” We call it: the compact SUV that just grew up and got a swagger upgrade.
